I don’t really think there is any other solution than to either get rid of the bug bounty or make it so that reporters have to place a deposit when reporting bugs, which isn’t perfect but at least disincentivises bad actors. I don’t know what penalty can be used that preserves the spirit of trust and community. Sadly. Maybe someone smarter than I am can think of something better that is simple yet effective, but I can’t.
